\nThis documentary looks really interesting. It’s called “The Cigarette Wars.” It’s on at 10 p.m. EST Sunday on CNBC. It’s about how despite the government’s best efforts to stamp out smoking, the tobacco industry continues to thrive. Unfortunately, I’m missing this show, but it’s on again next Sunday night (1 a.m. Monday EST), and I should catch that one.<\/p>\n
